Dead Nettles should be planted in early spring or early autumn, in a semi-shaded or shaded position, for example at the base of shrubs or trees, in a cool and shaded rockery, against a north or east-facing wall... They thrive in soil that doesn't dry out too much in summer, but that is not waterlogged. Their reasonable spread, through stems that root upon contact with the ground, is entirely manageable. Each plant forms a carpet about 20 cm tall with a maximum spread of 100 cm. Plant 6 plants per m² to cover the ground in 2-3 years, or 3 plants per m² for a result after 4-5 years of cultivation. Remove weeds regularly in the early stages to help your young plants establish and water during very dry weather.

This collection of Spotted Dead nettles can also be planted at the front of borders, in ribbon-like fashion or in small touches, in front of Heucheras or Hardy Geraniums. It goes well with shade-loving companions such as Hepaticas and Hostas, Arum maculatum, Epimedium rubrum... In a cool and moist rockery, you can plant the Dead Nettles from this collection among other ground-covering perennials, for example some Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea'.
